Two men have been charged and remanded to prison following the discovery of a cannabis grow in Chesterfield.
Following reports from a member of the public, officers attended an address in Saltergate and discovered 442 cannabis plants spread over two floors of the property.
Anh Ngoc Nguyen, 25, of no fixed address, and La Nguyen, 35, of no fixed address, have both been charged with cultivation of cannabis and illegal abstraction of electricity.
